Domestic Science By Lilian Tingle. MARCH 6. Will you please give in The Oregonian a recipe for apple butter? Would the Spttzenberg apple give & good flavored butter?- - J. M. YES, I think Spitzenberg apples should give a good flavor. Follow ing: are some old-fashioned apple but ter recipes: Apple butter (1) Two bushels ap ples, four gallons sweet cider, seven pounds brown sugar, five pounds white sugar, three level tablespoons pow dered cloves, four level tablespoons powdered cinnamon, one level teaspoon grated nutmeg. Core and pare the ap ples and put into a large kettle with two quarts cider and begin to cook them. Reduce the rest of the cider by boiling down one-half; then add this to the apples, stirring constantly to prevent burning; cook until it thick ens. Then add the sugar and spices and boll until of desired consistency. Apple butter (2) Cook pared and cored apples in very little water and steam as if for jelly. Boil down one gallon of Juice to two quarts, then add two gallons pared and cored apples and cook to a mush. Add one-half gal lon sugar, one teaspoon powdered al spice, one teaspoon grated nutmeg and cook 15 minutes. Remove from the fire and put up in sterilized jars. Apple butter (3) Boil down one gal lon of sweet cider to two quarts .Fill up the kettle with pared, cored and quartered apples, adding enough more cider to keep the apples from stick ing. Cook to a thick marmalade, then put up in jars. Apple butter (4) Use one bushel sour apples, one-half bushel sweet ap ples and six quarts boiled-down cider. Have the cider boiling rapidly, gradu ally add the pared, cored and quar tered apples, adding them until the mixture is cooked to a mush, stir con stantly. When well reduced add six pounds sugar with cinnamon to taste and cook to a smooth mass which does not separate. You will see from the above that both sugar and spices may be varied "to taste." the important part being the long cooking and boiling down of apples and apple Juice to de velop color , and flavor. The first recipe is more like mar malade than apple butter, but is usu ally well liked. The spices may be re duced in quantity or omitted to taste. The third recipe calls for neither sugar nor spice, but both may be add- f fctory taSt!"

GRAIN ORDERS EXPECTED RI M OR OF PURCH ASE J .V POHTL AXD FOR MEXICAN TROOPS DE.MED. Vol Only Ia Report Fale, but Per manent Order With Albers Bros. Has Been Canceled. Portland grain dealers believe the operations of Government troops in Mexico and on the border will result in the placing of ordersjiere for oats and .other cavalry forage. Up to the present time, however, no such orders have been received. George A. Westgate, of the Albers Bros. Milling Company, denies em phatically a rumor to the effect that his company has received a rush order for 500 tons of oats to be forwarded to Mexico. The firm has a yearly con tract with the War Department to provide California Army .posts with oats, but since the cavalry has been sent to the border the contract has been temporarily canceled. Jt is not known yet whether the department will draw upon Oregon for further supplies, or purchase the need ed quantities in states nearer the scene or the trouble.

Permanent Relief for Chronic Constipation Knowledge and Practice Correct Daily Habit the Great Essential. of Constipation is a condition affecting all classes of all people and can be per manently relieved only by acquiring habits of regularity. .The most natural time for the ellm inative process is in the morning, when both the muscular and nervous systems are relaxed by sleep and rest. When relief does not come readily. It Is an excellent plan to take a. mild laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and purgatives, that by the violence of their quick action shock and disturb the system, should nob be employed. An effective laxative remedy that is very dependable, and which does not gripe or otherwise disturb the organs involved, is found in a combination of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that can be bought at the drug store for fifty cents a bottle. Mrs? C C. Allen, 215 Foam St.. New Monterey, Cal., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that she "found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin just what was needed for con stipation and. distress, of tne stomach v 3IRS. C. C. ALLEN after eating. It should be In every household." Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and keep it in the house to use when occasion arises. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 5 Washington St., Monticello, 11L 1
